Moondial won over the course and distance in September and didn't look suited by soft ground at Chepstow a few days later. Ticket To Alaska improved at the back-end of last year and was unlucky in-running when well supported at Lingfield in December. Gypsy Nation, from a yard in outstanding form, has had the required three runs for a mark but WILDFELL was impressive on his debut for Peter Chapple-Hyam at Lingfield, his first all-weather start, and a 7lb rise look manageable.
